UNITED STATES PATENT orrles,

NECKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed November 18, 1920. Serial No. 424,920.

To all 'whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD JAMES Nnrr- ZEL, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Jersey City Heights, in the county of Hudson andState of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin a Necktie Holder; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesaine.

This invention relates to a necktie holder, and the object is to providea device of special construction for securing the flowing end of a tiein posit-ion.

A further object is to provide a device having the form of a clasp pin,and including a member extending from one end of the bar of the pin andparallel with reference thereto, for engagement with one of theoverlapping elements of a shirt front.

A still further object is to provide a device serving the purposespecified, and one which may be formed from a single sheet metal blank,the linished article including elements which correspond with the usualcatch, pin, and spring held mounting means for the latter.

lVith the foregoing` and other objects in view, the invention consistsin the novel construction of the device, as hereinafter more fullydisclosed, and in the production of the bla-nk from which the article isformed.

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a portion of a negligee shirt andnecktie, illustrating the application of my improved holder, the holderbeing shown in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 22 of Figure 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on a plane extending longitudinallyand centrally through the neck tie holder.

Figure 4: is a view in rear elevation of the necktie holder.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the blank from which the neck tie holder ismade, and

Figure 6 is a section on the plane indicated by the line 6-6 of Figure 4looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

The blank from which the device is formed includes a strip of suitablemetal, the principal portion of which is of uniform width, one endhowever Vbeing of reduced width, and slight-ly tapering, as shown, toform the pin per se. The wider portion of the blank is slotted at thepoint indicated, the metal being upset to form a catch for retaining theend of the pin.

The intermediate section of the blank corresponds with the elementusually termed the bar, and is designated 10, and formed therewith isthe clasp 12 having substantially the same width as the bar, althoughthe exact dimensions, are not important. The extreme or free end of thewider portion is rounded, as shown and the blank is bent upon itself at15, forming the connecting element between the clasp 14 and the bar 10.

The pin 16 is formed by cutting away the metal of the original blank, toform a tapered element having a point 17, and merging into that portionof the article constituting the bar. At the point of juncture, shoulders18 are formed, the metal being bent upon itself at 19 and forming atthis point an element corresponding with the usual spring hinge mountingof the pin.

The catch 21 is formed by upsetting a portion of the metal of the blank,the upset portion being deflected in two directions, and serving toproperly retain the pin.

In the use of the device the pin is passed through the under side of theflowing end of the tie and is secured by the catch. The clasp is thenslipped over the adjacent edge portion of the shirt front, or bosom, andowing to the resiliency of the metal, a sufliciently secure connectionis effected for holding the tie in correct position, and yet permittingimmediate detachment when desired. When in position, the device does.

not show on the front of the tie.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is A tie holderconsisting of ablank provided with a portion struck out to form a catch,a clasp extending from and returned toward the holder on the oppositeside to the catch, thelblank being reduced to form a pin, said pin beingreturned from the enadapted for connection to a tie and shirt and tranceto the clasp across the opposite face concealed by the tie. 1U of theblank to engage the catch, the blank In testimony whereof I alix niysignature having shoulders at the uncionv of the pin in presence of twoWitnesses.
